In Market
I came across this website powerxtractor.com through a friend of mine
and this new engine sounds pretty impressive, but I don't know enough
myself. What do you all think, is it really good as my friend said?
Thanks in advance for help

Thanks for any opinions.
So, don't just look at the price, take apr into consideration also.

I'm just curious what's the best approach to begin with. 38k out the door for tech is definitely in the low-ball range!

If you don't need financing, the most I would pay is invoice - rebate, I would start offering into the holdback (3% of MSRP I believe), which evidence from the past few pages shows others have gotten.
Depends on the dealer, some cut to the chase while others still give a high offer. I think once you show them you have done your homework they will start lowering their offer.
I see by your post that the dearship also get an additional 3% holdback off the MSRP. That is about $1200. Does that mean that the dealer may have an additional $1200 under the lowest price?
Also, it appears that, based on the large inventory, I should go for the 2.9% financing, too.
After initially offering in the mid $38,000's and listening to the dealer's soliloquy about how he wouldn't make money selling below invoice, I told him I'd buy if I got invoice - rebate + destination (40901 into 38901). They came back with an offer of $300 over mine ($39,201). After getting them to throw in wheel locks and all-weather mats (which I would have bought for $150+ from the internet anyway), I agreed.
Here are the details:
MSRP: $44,245
Price: $38,486
Destination: $715
NC Tax (3%): $1176.03
Doc fee: $398
Transfer plate: $55
OTD: $40,830.03
The kicker is I'm moving to Indiana very soon, where the state tax is 7%, so I didn't have the luxury of playing the game and walking out the door, etc. as it would have cost another $1600 for the exact same price just on taxes if I had waited a week to buy.
Anyway, good luck to the rest of y'all, I couldn't stop smiling on my drive home.
Curious to know where you got your deal? In the past, I have found that dealership here in NC have been tough to deal with. Thanks in advance for any information.
From the internet quotes, Stevenson in Wilmington is useless (gave me an offer that was $1000 off MSRP! what a laugh), but Crown in Greensboro ($5500 off MSRP was their initial offer) and Flow in Winston-Salem ($5300 off) had some very competitive internet offers without even haggling, but they were ~2-3 hours round trip away so less convenient. Leith in Raleigh has the most inventory but their quotes were a little higher. Didn't bother with Leith in Fayetteville or Apple Tree in Fletcher as they were farther away and smaller in size.
this is from Auotweek..... it seems it is better to lease THEN buy rather then buy.... I am looking at a MDX and I am on the fence too lease or buy, but this might make me lease:
FROM AUTOWEEK:
"If you thought $4 per gallon was a hit to the wallet, wait until hundreds of thousands of off-lease sport/utility vehicles are returned to dealerships. That's when the whammy of inflated residual values of off-lease sport/utes will hammer the market.
According to Oregon-based CNW Research, with some 800,000 truck-based sport/utility vehicles coming off lease this year, residual values projected three and four years ago will be missed by as much as $6,000 per unit.
Whom will this hurt? Those who lend the money--banks, credit unions, car companies' captive finance arms and others who write leases--will face a tab of nearly $5 billion just in 2008. That number rises to $5.24 billion in '09 and $4.74 billion at the end of the decade.
The only slight potential benefit to consumers is that they can buy their leased vehicles for bargain prices; experts predict that only 20 percent will do so.
You don't need a research firm to tell you that sport/ute residuals have plummeted. Go to Kelly Blue Book and see what a two-year-old V8-powered Chevrolet Suburban or Toyota Land Cruiser will run you.
A 2008 Suburban 2500 with a 6.0-liter V8, four-wheel drive, automatic transmission and leather sells new for $43,235; a two-year-old model with 24,000 miles in excellent condition can be yours for less than $20,000.
A new-generation 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser with a 5.7-liter V8 that gets 13 mpg city and 18 mpg highway runs for $64,785; a two-year-old model similarly equipped goes for between $34,120 and $35,975, depending on its condition
There are very good deals going on in the bayarea.
You can get it for $2K below invoice (without special financing).
I bought the MDX with Tech and power liftgate.
I am pretty happy with my purchase.
Email me if you need more details.
Also, getting financing at 4.64%.
Seems good considering combination of price and financing. Also getting the sport running boards and roof rack/cross rails for an additional $930, which is I believe cost.
Any thoughts?
$930 for sport running boards and roof rack/cross rails including labor is a very good price. I am not sure how much is the cost, but these 3 things are usually take time to install.
Thanks Again!
A few years ago, I thought I read a post that stated that dealers will sale the "Certified" warranty to existing Acura owners. My MDX just passed the 45k mile mark and I would be interested in finding out if I can get Acura Certification. Maybe I dreamed it, as now I cannot find any postings related to that discussion. However, I seem to recall that it was $500, but a dealer in VA was selling it for about half that.
If anyone happens to know, I would be very appreciative of information one way or the other.
Base model - $34,500
Roof rails ( not the cross bars) and all weather mats: $276
Destination is $760
Tax here in the beautful state of Maryland - even if you buy it in VA - is 6%
I did my own financing
Thanks all - I'll be checking the forum frequently now that I am an owner.
Just purchased a 2008 Acura MDX with sport and entertainment package in Houston for a purchase price of $41,850. Really happy with the vehicle as well as the buying experience from Champion Acura. Thanks to everyone for all the helpful info. OTD price was 44,744 but I added some other features that added a little to my bottom line. Cheers.
2) the web is a wealth of information. If you use the site you are on - Edmunds - you can get competitive quotes in your area as well as find out how much inventory the dealer has - the dealer I bought from had 150 MDXs in stock. I think I got a great deal in DC. Invoice minus $2000. I don't think that they could have gone any lower.
Base 34600 (incl. dest.)
Body Side Mldg 188
Stripe 50
Tow Package 716
OTR 37999 (incl. taxes, tags, doc fees..etc.)
Has anyone in the area got a better deal than this? I have been working on this for about a month and this looks like the best I can do.....or should I wait. Inventory remains very high at most of the local dealers. Does anyone know if Acura is going to sweeten the incentives next month?
I am willing to pay $35k on a base MDX with 0.9% financing. A dealer told me he can't do both.
He also told me, "let's wait for July, things might improve." I don't know if he was just BSing me or he knows for a fact that Acura may sweeten things a bit more by combining the $2000 rebate with the incentive financing, next month. Let's see what happens come July.
Invoice is $36,415 so it would be tough to get $35k
